Who Can Predict?

An article in the Vermont Times Argus reminds us that MS is an unpredictable disease. Even though so many people are affected by the disease, they do not follow the same pattern of progression.Also, there are more treatments now than ever before, but no one can predict if any one treatment will work for any particular MSer. This is true for traditional and alternative treatments.

The article refers to two books. First is Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis by Allen C. Bowling of the Rocky Mountain MS Center. The second book is Multiple Sclerosis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed which covers traditional treatments, Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxane, Novantrone, and Rebif.
